Candidate Wanted

Must be willing to be scapegoat for next successful terrorist attack on US. Must be willing to attempt to merge two of the most powerful governemental agencies in the United States. It should be noted that these agencies hate each other, have conflicting goals and operational boundaries, often find themselves in conflict with your new boss, get no credit for successes and all blame for failures. It should also be noted that these two agenices will be merged with 13 other agencies rife with internicene conflict. You will have 1 direct report but must also indirectly report to 535 people, half of whom hate your boss and are looking to use you to undermine him.

Where do you find such a person? Look for the man who was crazy enough to take his previous job: Ambassador to Iraq.
